It did just that...last night, i was rushed to the hospital at about 11 or so i was told...i ****ed up bad, b.a.l was .32 and i got pumped and they used that tar ****..it sucked. well i gotta do some **** so....oh and i'm obviously not lifting today. :mad:

[JustinF]

Damn bro. That sucks. That's a lot of drink!!:eek:

[d-bol_dale]

Hope you recover ok bro. Gotta be careful on that alchohol. I work as a doorman/bouncer and I see some ugly sights because of it week in week out. Hope you learn from your experience. You know your lifting aint goin nowhere if all your cash is spent on beer instead of food and supplements. Hope you get back on track soon bro coz your workouts sounded good!

at this point i said **** it and mess around on the bike for another 5 minutes inclduing the 7 min warmup and the went and did some other ****, still need to recover...i'm eating like **** lately, ****ing horrible...even before the alcohol i have lost considerable appetite.

[WillKuenzel]

I'd say you could probably do with a day or 2 completely off. It might suit you well to get lots of rest. Sorry to hear about the alcohol incident. I know that's not any fun.

You'll probably have to work on getting your appetite back up. Just try to maintain eating 5 times a day consistently for a while. Maybe then add another meal in there and then start increasing the calories at certain meals. It takes time to get the appetite back up, especially after that incident with the beer. You'll bounce back in no time but don't rush it.

Skipping workout today, just got back from work, swinging an axe roached my lats and lower back, and switching between carrying the wood and using a wheelbarrow i got soem grip work in too. Felt good to mix it up a bit and get paid for it :)

[Lesnar_Rocks]

Did the same thing at work today...but my hams got hit today, i was resorting to squatting and picking up the wood, laoding it to my arms because i had no strength left in them lol.

[Lesnar_Rocks]

Been going easy lately in the actual gym, one i don't have one right now and two i've been keeping busy with manual labor.

I went into a trance a couple of days ago and dreamed about doing strongman comps as i had to move some stoves for the guy i worked for i rigged up one of the mechanic wheelie things and sat two stoves on that and then rigged up a harness....:P i got a few weird looks, it was sweet.

[Lesnar_Rocks]

*wipes the heaping pile of dust of the journal*

Damn, i've been neglecting this thing....I've been working out at home lately, it's not the gym but it does what it needs to, i've been slowly buying a few things lately, stuff i've wanted for a while.

Diet's been good, i've been eating really well lately now that i'm home :evillaugh

Lifting as been good lately, I'm benching 230 for three solid reps now, squat is around 290, i rigged up something with cement blocks and a bar to do them, and i find myself wandering in the woods with an axe lately, just chopping away at different angles, i wanted to mix things up and i'm letting my imagination take over on that one. finally :D

Other items of interest: got myself a new girl, i'm really happy with how things are going, slow but that's how i want it, i'm sick of one night stands to be honest and waking up not knowin who the person beside you is. So i'm going steady with this one, treating her right. We'll see how it goes, i'm excited.
